    PVC fork dust cover driver

    I bought some 1 1/2" schedule 40 thick wall and it doesn't fit 43 mm forks. Do I need to get the thin wall? I have the forks off the bike and when I bottom the fork tubes they seem to stick...like the rebound spring is sticking. Will a good cleaning and new oil take care of this? I'm using...

    Missing a few dust covers...

    I noticed I am missing a few dust covers. I plan on replacing them, but I am not sure how quickly I should it. The dust cap on the driveshaft is missing. I think the part missing on the rear wheel is also a dust cover of some sort, but I am not sure. I used the picture of my other bike to show...

    Blew off the dust......

    Gday all. We had our first round in our season yesterday. I was working, but a mate needed a ride for the first meet. His 1640 Katana was still waiting on assembly with the new billet block, his son's GSXR750 longbike still isn't ready from the off-season (something about me not completing his...

    COPRUNNER's computer bit the dust!

    Got a call from Timmy this evening, there was a total power outage in his town today....everything went down! Somehow the thing cooked his computer so he'll be out of commission for a few days. I'm fairly certain it's an NSA conspiracy but he says no.....there's No Such Agency! :confused2:

    Change your ugly differential dust covers

    Hate your grey differential dust covers....here's a great way to change them to the color you want. Before you start this project order a new differential o-ring you will probably need to replace it before you put the gear back in. Get the plastic dust covers off (do both). Mask off the...

    Rear Brake Dust Cover

    Anyone want to sell (or give:biglaugh:) me a good used or new rear brake dust cover? My dust cover looks like garbage even after I spray painted it. Bike Bandit has them for 14.00 dollars but I figure I would check in here first. Abe

    Dust boots

    Hey guys, I am going to be installing progressive springs and going to do the seals at the same time. Wondering if anyone has used (or thought of using) those neoprene dust boots that guys use on their dirt bikes? I know they work wonders for the life of fork seals on dirt bikes..might be worth...

    Underwear Dust

    One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in Slim Fast. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!' His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning...

    Front Shock Leaking at Dust Seal

    Well, I've read though the threads about Forks and I couldn't find an answer to this.:ummm: If a fork is leaking at the dust seal, does that mean the internal seal has gone bad or the dust seal needs replacement? Both my front shocks are still @ 11psi but the oil runs down and drips off one of...

    Brake Pad Dust - Ultimate Cleaner

    Brake dust has always had a habit of tenaciously sticking to billet rims, painted rims and anodized brake callipers. Nothing seems to shift it completely and every solution I have tried requires time, elbow grease and a brush. Most cleaners are toxic or caustic and damage you or the bike...
